In addition to women, attention should be paid to male victims of human trafficking.

Victim-centered approach

Giving his opinion on the draft Law on Prevention and Combat of Human Trafficking (amended), delegate Trang A Duong ( Ha Giang ) said that the draft Law clearly demonstrates the principle of gender equality in the provisions on the principles of prevention and combat of human trafficking; respecting the rights and legitimate interests, not discriminating against victims...

However, delegates said that these are still general regulations that do not clearly demonstrate the principle of ensuring gender in preventing and combating human trafficking.

“Women and girls are more vulnerable to sex trafficking; while male child victims are more likely to be targeted by traffickers for labor exploitation and criminal activities,” said delegate Trang A Duong.

Given the relatively different levels of severity of the injuries suffered by male and female victims, delegate Trang A Duong suggested that it is necessary to add the principle of ensuring gender equality and a victim-centered approach in preventing and combating human trafficking.

In addition, delegate Tran Khanh Thu ( Thai Binh ) said that, regarding specific regulations on specialized facilities to support victims of human trafficking for men and women, social protection facilities that receive victims of human trafficking do not have specialized areas to support victims of human trafficking, but integrate them into other groups.

According to the delegate, this will make it difficult to implement support work because there is no appropriate and friendly process for receiving victims, there is a lack of regulations on case management and specific victim support procedures; especially there is a complete lack of regulations on reception in emergency cases or suspected cases of trafficking while waiting for verification and identification of victims.

In reality, there is a gap in ensuring access to support services for male and female victims. Support services are currently focused on female victims of cross-border trafficking for marriage or prostitution.

Other at-risk groups such as male workers in construction, service, fishing or those trafficked domestically often receive less attention.

Therefore, to fully ensure the rights of victims of human trafficking, delegate Thu suggested that the Drafting Committee study and supplement specific regulations on the establishment, management and operation of facilities to receive and support victims on the basis of meeting their gender needs, rights and legitimate, legal interests...
